Love the fountains at deeds Park!

Yep, it was in 2020!

It is still one of my favorite trips ever!

I normally do, but I think for that trip I was trying to go super ultralight and just wasn’t carrying enough capacity for that trail. It all worked out though, once I filled up from the rain, I never had another issue the rest of the trip.

wow, thank you very much, I really appreciate that!

it's definitely cold!

I've kayaked it in every season multiple times. It's not the best for camping but it's doable if your willing to stealth camp on sandbars. There are a few areas that are city/county owned land but for the most part it's private property along most of it. The Little Miami River is also a good option, I have a three part series on that one as well. I don't know much about kentucky rivers....Michigan is where it's at if you like clean clear water and awesome camping.

@jasonwish- I know the little Miami. I used to go to Morgan's Livery and rent canoes way back in the day. It's about 15 minutes from my home. I've not paddled in Michigan but I've been to several places in the state camping and hiking. You mentioned Sleeping Bear Dunes, I've been there. I love that place. I've got a 26' sailboat that I'm slowly restoring and outfitting for some sailing up there, but probably won't have it finished until next spring.

Obviously having two vehicles is the best, to have one at each end but if you’re solo, like I am many times, you can park your vehicle at your takeout after you have already stashed your kayak or canoe in the weeds, trees, or cornfields at your put in and then Uber back to your kayak. I’ve even left my kayak with a camper host at a campground before that was near the river. If you don’t want to use an Uber, you’re only other option is to walk jog or bike back to your kayak from your takeout. Another option is to have someone pick you up when you take out and bring you back to your vehicle where you started.

I’ll be down there again in a couple weeks when I finish my section paddle of the mad

Me too, over 35 years worth. I still remember my very first time, I think I was 15 and we did a Sunday school class canoe paddle and I met my first girlfriend on the river lol.

It was 3.5' and 250 cfs on May 16 near Urbana, which is the Northern most guage.

@@jasonwish- thanks!

We were there the last week of September

@@jasonwish- that’s great. Looks like the foliage will be great then.

At Lake Vesuvius? I haven’t been there since 2019.

Thanks Dan! Those three hikes were by far the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life.

@@jasonwish- I could only imagine! Have only watched this last one so far!

It was a fun thru paddle. I definitely will redo the southern part again someday, but I enjoyed the upper part the best because I like small rivers with lots of twists and turns. My favorite is the Little Manistee in Michigan. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

That would be so cool! How much room on a sandbar would you have to have to land/take off? I hope to finish off my final section in mid to late Aug.

@@jasonwish- we'd need a decent size space but landing on a sandbar would be rad. I'll look at google earth and do some scouting between Eagle City and Spangler.

@@KeleFPV I've already finished that section over a month ago, video still being edited. Next will be Spangler to Deeds Point Metro Park.

Hey Ryan, glad you found my and channel and thanks for checking it out!

@@jasonwish- absolutely man. I’m subbed and “belled” now. I just found your channel so I haven’t got to go through too much but do you ever get down toward Cincinnati?

Thanks for the correction, I knew that, not sure why I confused those roads.

Oh my! Yes, we've been blessed with near perfect timely rains this year.

@@jasonwish- To hear a farmer pleased with the weather is a rare thing. Ha Enjoy the bounty. I'll keep watching.

The Mad is always really clear except after a huge rain, very fortunate to have this river just down the road from me.

Hey man hope your doing well! I haven't been on social media at all except posting 3 farm videos a week...I can barely keep my head above water, lol. Still hope we can get together one of these days!

ridiculous

@@jasonwish- yes…..that particular short stretch of river is total gravel…..fish spawning heaven and a fisherman’s dream…lots of fishermen are trespassers, slobs, and jerks ….they spoil it for those of us who use the river responsibly……and some riparians are just jerks, wanting to keep the river all to themselves…..some get mad when you just float by, let alone wade fish in front of their property…..retired CO here…..I have seen lots of both type of jerks….(and many others). Lt. MANISTEE Rr. is a jewel of a secret…..

Thank you!

Great way to do it! and a great river!

​@@jasonwish-kokosing is my home river if you will. I have the pleasure of living in Gambier. 4 put in / take outs within 5 miles from home. Kids started in a canoe at birth then graduated to their own kayaks about 8 or so. Awesome river when it is up.

Thanks! Oh, don't worry, it's on my short list! As is the Buffalo.

Ok, I never seen any eagles on the Mad, but I've seen dozens on the Mohican River and several on the Little Miami, maybe even the Kokosing. Too hot, humid and buggy for me to enjoy backpacking in the summer, but if you asked me this in October, I would definitely say Old Loggers Path! And I've been trying to get up to the Porkies for years! I already have my fall and winter taken up this year but I will get up there in 2025!

@@jasonwish- good to know. I love seeing wildlife more than just the kayaking in itself but I'll definitely try the Mad. It definitely looks fun. Old Loggers Path was kinda tough. Whoever designed it didn't know what a switchback was. Lol. Pennsylvania was beautiful though. Definitely do the Porkies asap! Camping on Superior was a treat. This fall I'll be in SC for a wedding so I'll be backpacking down there in the fall but next year I'm shooting for Minnesota or Maine for a trip. Maybe both!

@@natehoover5266 are you familiar with the Palmetto Trail in SC? I've been section hiking it each winter and will be finishing all 500 miles of it this fall, then moving on to the 118 mile Bartram Trail which is connected to it.

@jasonwish- I have but I never looked into it much because being solo I usually try to find loop trails. I'll definitely check it out some more. I'd love to do a full thru hike someday. Like the Superior Hiking Trail or the Uinta Highline trail. I hike 104 miles of the Colorado Trail solo for my first ever backpacking trip. It was quite the experience. Kinda crazy on my part having zero backpacking experience.

😁

Yes. Send me an email at jason@wishwellfarms.com and I’ll drop you a pin.

Thanks Harold, I just use my COROS watch which then links to Strava. I used Gaia for years before the COROS.

Indeed, my favorite!

@@jasonwish- we vacation up there about every 2 years.

@jasonwish- I'm over by Eastfork Lake East of Cincinnati. Me and a buddy are looking to hit an overnight trip on the little Miami river. Are there any pro tips for first-timers?

Nice, hope it works well for you

It’s definitely tough this time of year, mid to late June was the last time I had a chance and I got about four or five more busy weeks and then I’ll have another opportunity to finish upthe mad river. Thanks for the information and happy paddling!

Yes, I agree, but sometimes under perfect growing conditions, they are harvestable, but not very often Check out our farming channel where we post three videos a week, already have a few new ones out on sweetcorn : youtube.com/@wishwellfarms?si=mT1-xv05YwGA7WBi

@@jasonwish- They just don't seem to have the same flavor. They are always bland to me.

Thank you Thomas!
